Innovation Becomes A Magic Weapon For Foreign Trade Enterprises To Make A Living

In the first half of this year, the scale of foreign trade in light industry decreased by 5.13% compared with the same period last year.

Through interviews with some exhibitors of the 120th Canton Fair, the reporters found that changing production patterns and increasing product innovation and R & D has become the "magic weapon" for foreign trade enterprises to survive.

In October 23rd, consumer goods and gifts were used.

The second session of the 120th China Import and Export Fair, such as light industrial products, was opened.

On October 24th, Tong Daochi, Assistant Minister of Commerce, inspected the second exhibitors of the 120th Canton Fair.

In the process of talking with exhibitors, the difficulties faced by light industry export enterprises, how to create new advantages in foreign trade competition, product innovation and R & D investment through pformation and upgrading have become the most concerned topic of Tong Dao Chi.

According to customs statistics, in the first half of this year,

The scale of foreign trade reached 320 billion 494 million US dollars, down 5.13% from the same period last year.

Among them, exports amounted to 260 billion 741 million US dollars, down 6.09% compared to the same period last year, and realized the import of US $59 billion 753 million, down 0.75% compared with the same period last year.

It is not difficult to see that the motive force of the overall development of China's light industry is still insufficient.

Tong Daochi first came to the booth of Yingkou Jinqiao International Trade Co., Ltd., and realized that Christmas decorations and gifts were the main export products of the company. Tong expressed his concern about the export market demand of the company.

Luan Mingkun, general manager of Jinqiao International Trade Co., Ltd. said that the company's products mainly exported to developed economies such as Europe and the United States. At present, the export market is relatively stable, and the export scale has been increasing year by year.

As a labor-intensive industry, the company's products also changed from pure manual production to semi mechanized production in the past, reducing the impact of rising labor costs.

In addition, the company innovates every year.

Speaking of innovation, Tong Dao Chi is also concerned about protecting the intellectual property rights of enterprises.

"

It must be protected. "

After learning that the products exported by Shanghai New Asia Home Decoration Trade Co., Ltd. are all designed and produced independently, Tong Daochi said.

Liu Xiaohong, general manager of the company, said that in recent years, the export performance of the company has kept growing. Last year, its export volume increased by about 40%, mainly attributable to the company's efforts to increase product innovation and design research and development.

At the same time, all the products of the company were registered in China and Europe.

"At present, the protection of intellectual property rights is being strengthened in China, and it is necessary for enterprises to enhance their awareness of intellectual property protection."

In addition to reducing labor costs and increasing product innovation and R & D efforts, Yangjiang eighteen sub group Limited has chosen to change its production mode.

Li Ji Hui, general manager of the company, said that the company mainly exported kitchen utensils and other kitchen utensils, and the technology of products was the world's leading. However, compared with similar products produced in Germany, the quality of raw materials has become a competitive disadvantage.

Due to the high cost of imported steel, the company boldly tried to produce steel products by advanced technology.

The quality of raw materials is low and the cost of production is too high.

After the inspection hall, Tong Dao Chi hosted the second thematic learning meeting of the 120th leading Committee of the Canton Fair.

He pointed out that on the occasion of the 60th anniversary birthday of the Canton Fair, general secretary Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter, Premier Li Keqiang gave instructions, and Vice Premier Wang hosted the Forum on foreign trade work and delivered a speech, pointing out a new direction for China's foreign trade development.

Wang Yang, vice premier of the State Council, presided over the Forum on foreign trade work in October 17th, stressed the need to unswervingly adjust the structure, push forward the structural reform of supply side in the field of foreign trade, support the innovative development and gradient pfer of processing trade, support enterprises to cultivate export brands and marketing networks, expand the export of high value-added industries such as equipment manufacturing, and actively develop new formats of cross-border e-commerce and market purchasing trade, laying a solid foundation for the long-term development of foreign trade.

Tong Daochi said that the traditional competitive advantage of foreign trade relying on low cost elements has been unable to promote the development of China's foreign trade, and enterprises must continue to foster new advantages in foreign trade competition.

Changes in the foreign trade market can force enterprises to grow steadily and adjust their structure. Enterprises should promote pformation and upgrading of foreign trade through continuous innovation.

At the same time, we will continue to explore new growth points of foreign trade, such as market purchase trade and cross-border e-commerce.

Besides, the government should play a leading role in nurturing enterprises' new advantages in developing foreign trade competition, and do well in related services and support.
